If anyone watched Musician Mansion, this is basically the story of Graystone. Why practice or write music for your band when you slap something together last minute and still win the competition?
Why do it comfortably over an 8 hour work day when I could fuck off for 6 hours plus lunch and then cram it all into the last hour driven by adrenaline?
Can I get a hell yeah!
Later, I’m busy reading a Wikiepdia article about the economy of Monaco right now.
At work, you’re better off being a procrastinator or just generally slow. If you’re fast and reactive, you’ll be called lazy when you’re sitting there with nothing left to do 😤
Efficient workers are punished with more work.
Just experienced this, was blown away. Thought productivity would be rewarded
Your time is their money. Capitalism is powerful because you live on the scraps of what you make while giving most everything to the person that tells you to make it. Not sure how anyone who collects payments from customers for repairs or installations, can remain sane after seeing that they’re billed out for at least 10x what they get compensated.
Thought productivity would be rewarded
Yes, rewarded with more work.
“You’re such a great employee! We’ll reward you by giving your more training so you can do more complicated stuff while being paid the same salary!”
…
Yeah, I’m moving out of my current department because people doing the same job I am in other departments are paid more than me, but my current manager swears that he’s been working very hard to get us the same conditions as other departments!
It’s 1am. My plane leaves in 8 hours. I’ll pack when I wake up…
Do a power nap!
Damn this is so fucking true. I am not one for self-diagnosis but I’m appalled by how many memes from this community I relate to on a cellular level.
lol same. I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD or anything like it but this community makes me think I might need to look into that
I don’t personally see the point of getting a diagnosis. I’d still have ADHD even after the diagnosis and the idea of starting to medicate it is not something I’m too thrilled about.
I don’t know how old you are but I’m guessing you’re old enough to have adapted to an unmedicated life with ADHD (assuming you actually have it). Getting an official diagnosis would not necessarily be a path to medication but rather useful information to have to help you deal with it more effectively on your own.
And here I am near the end of the day saying “well fuck, guess I’m working late tonight to deliver this thing I promised.”
I do this to myself…
Get out of my head, Charles.
I hit my limit in college. One of the requirements for my degree was to write a 20 page paper. I put the class off until my final semester. I lived the class, but the only grades were for “class participation” and the paper 40/60). I had no problem with the participation, but I had the entire semester to write the paper. Friends, I waited until 2 days before it was due and it wasn’t enough lol. It was so bad, I was embarrassed to turn it in. My teacher gave me a D on it as a favor. I’m sure many of you can also relate, that for months before the due date, I became more stressed out than I’ve ever been. I grew gray hairs, and developed a giant swollen taste bud right on the tip of my tongue.
But did you still technically fulfill the requirement? Because even at my worst, I still technically passed and thus never learned my lesson.
It’s horrible and stressful, but it works every time. I hate it.
Why even bother making this a gif?
That statement could mean so many things.
Why bother adding imagery to this post?
Why bother searching for a gif specifically when a jpg would have done?
Why bother making, what could have worked fine as a simple static image, into a gif?
So did you know you’re in an adhd forum? I had to do everything in my power not to answer the first option I thought of.
Scenario 3.
Static image would be fine lol.
It’s mildly frustrating that Tobias is only lip synced to “fix this”.

Throwback to that one time I had one week to write my thesis after doing nothing all year.
Throwback to when I wrote a 23 or so pages long work about the denazification and compared it to my hometown in like one week after getting one more week from the teacher by bullshitting, that I didnt had the time to do it for the past half year.
It’s Tuesday now
